Waking has always been a trial. I've been awake for approximately an hour and it still feels like I have a rug over my face. Or that could be because I haven't shaved for a few days. And I won't be if we don't get the hot water service fixed. That's right, I'm without hot running water at the moment. No more washing my hands after getting anything slightly sticky or gritty or wet on them. No more showers. Goddamn it! No more showers!
